Galway

Tomorrow, Hurdle2m
Verdict

WITCHES FAMILIAR created an excellent impression when making a winning debut by 12 lengths at Ballinrobe and, with improvement likely, is taken to remain unbeaten. Carmel’s Phoenix has won her last 2 starts, including on hurdles debut, and looks the chief threat with further progress on the cards, while Arouet is respected if transferring his useful Flat ability to this sphere.

    Verdict
    Zarak filly who could hardly have made a better start to her career when demolishing a 10-runner 4-y-o fillies maiden at Ballinrobe in May by 12 lengths from Ismahane, showing good speed for one so stoutly bred. Open to improvement and rates a major player for top yard with good record in this race.

    Verdict
    A fairly useful maiden winner on the Flat, who quickly made a positive impression over hurdles when easily landing an 8-runner maiden at Kilbeggan in June. That performance sets the standard here and, with progress likely - not least in the jumping stakes - she's clearly one for the shortlist.

    Verdict
    French bumper winner who showed some promise over hurdles for Willie Mullins last season before getting off the mark on debut for Gordon Elliott 23 days ago, winning a 7-runner novice hurdle at Bellewstown by 10 lengths from Beauvallon. This requires more, though.

    Verdict
    Useful Flat performer who stepped up on hurdling debut third when cosily winning a 14-runner maiden hurdle at Cork in May by 2¼ lengths from Karlynn. That form has worked out well and, while this is significantly tougher, he remains capable of better still in this sphere.

    Verdict
    Useful winner on Flat for Roger Varian and has shaped well on several occasions over hurdles, though has yet to win in 6 attempts, chasing home Porcupine Bank at Ballinrobe on latest. Type to be suited by a large-field and a strong pace, so this is unlikely to be an ideal scenario.

    Verdict
    Placed on each of his 6 maiden hurdle starts. Sent off favourite and shaped better than the result suggests when 3½ lengths third of 9 to Early Dawning in maiden at Killarney 11 days ago, leaving the impression he had more to give at the line. Any market support should be seriously noted.

    Verdict
    Runner-up in 1¼m Munich maiden in October 2025 and has shown promise when placed on both starts over hurdles, racing freely when 11¼ lengths third of 7 to Mino des Mottes in novice at Punchestown on latest. Hood now removed and needs to step up significantly.

    Verdict
    Went with little promise in a pair of bumpers but proved a different proposition switched to hurdles, winning a 14-runner conditionals maiden at Kilbeggan in May by ¾ length from Imarajan. He's clearly open to further progress, but this looks a stiff task all the same.

    Verdict
    Crystal Ocean filly who made the perfect start to her career when winning a 14-runner maiden hurdle at Roscommon 3 weeks ago by a neck from Minella Moon Shine. She's entitled to build on that, but she'll need to do so significantly if she's to maintain her unbeaten record in this company.

    Verdict
    Fair up to 1m on the Flat but not always the stoutest of finishers. No encouragement to be gleaned from either of his hurdling starts to date and, for all he has run respectably back on the Flat since, this looks fanciful.
